PRIMITIVO 2014 IGT Salento Rosso |
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
MASSERIE PISARI |
Fairly deep intense purple colour. Slightly spicy, baked plum nose with some sandalwood notes. Fairly dry, medium bodied, dusty, spicy, dried plum flavours with a lingering, gently rustic, high acid, somewhat savoury, apple-tinged finish. A wintery red that is best matched with a hearty stew. Despite the price, this Primitivo is really not worth a detour. Has 14% alcohol and 9 g/L residual sugar with lot number L1736 on the back label. TONY ASPLER / 87-points - Lifted, spicy plum and leather nose; full-bodied, sweetish plum with lively acidity and a firm tannic finish. |

TASTING NOTE: The grapes of Puglia enjoy plentiful sunshine and cooling ocean breezes that help promote the region's notably fruity, structured, robust wines. This 2014 Primitivo has a wealth of bright strawberry that meshes very nicely with suggestions of herbs, dried fruit, and toast to produce a layered, complex, satisfying wine.
